Wienwoche 2017 – Nach Geschäftsschluss

When: TUE–THU, September 26–28, 5pm–7pm­
Where: various locations
Entry: Free! (Register via deewan@gmx.net to take part)

A somewhat interesting tour is happening at part of Wienwoche this week, which will see the signs hanging about abandoned shop fronts be given a new, and very different life…and meaning.  In different districts, on different days, tours will be run where the group is taken to different empty shops and the word plays will begin in which anagrams will run wild. As their old meaning is now obsolete, this tour will give them new ones by playing with the words in the old stores names. Weird stuff. Worth checking out.
